“If San Francisco is Goldilocks, Connie Chan is just right. Throughout her career she has supported renter protections, oversight of landlord-tenant conditions, and housing policies shaped by concerns about displacement, neighborhood stability, and affordability. Her approach emphasizes preserving existing affordable housing, protecting tenants, and promoting new housing with community safeguards. As Budget chair, Connie understands our city finances, and knows firsthand where our billionaire administration is cutting services for working people. She will be the best fighter to bring back dollars to invest in making our city affordable to working people. Source (https://sftu.org/endorsements)”

“The most important office in California that you may not have heard of is Insurance Commissioner. Historically this seat has been held by those who have catered hand over fist to the insurance industry. Jane is not one of those candidates. From making City College free to authoring the “Tenant Protections 2.0” package of 2015, Jane has a long track record of using government to work for working people. We have no doubt that Jane will bring that same tenacity to the role of Insurance Commissioner. Source (https://sftu.org/endorsements)”

“Lori Brooke has shown her commitment to tenants rights as cited by her concerns for the loss of rent-controlled housing as one of the reasons for her opposition to the Family Zoning Plan and in that, she’s fully aligned with SFTU’s goals and objectives. Source (https://sftu.org/endorsements)”

“Natalie is a renter herself and an experienced legislative aide who has always stood with tenants, this is an easy endorsement for the SFTU. If you value someone with experience, and a track record of fighting for a more affordable City. Vote for Natalie Gee. Source (https://sftu.org/endorsements)”

“Alexandra Pray — Alexandra Pray’s record in San Francisco’s Public Defender Office will bring much needed perspective to their judgeship. Their opponent, on the other hand, has built a record working in the current District Attorney’s Office that has abandoned community justice reforms, undercut police misconduct investigations (https://missionlocal.org/2023/07/dozens-leave-da-brooke-jenkins-one-year/), and increased overall convictions (https://missionlocal.org/2023/09/sf-da-brooke-jenkins-reverses-decline-convictions/). Pray has been at the forefront of combatting those regressive trends. SFTU is hopeful that Pray’s leadership will give tenants a fair shot in a court system that routinely sides with powerful landlord interests. Source (https://sftu.org/endorsements)”
